I started Lupron nine years ago. I had major hot flashes for a year, Multiple times a day, totally soaked from head to chest and with fatigue as the hot flash came on.. A year later my oncologist told me that a depo-provera Shot could help with the hot flashes. I got a 3 month shot And my hot flashes almost stopped for about a year. Then I became castrate resistant and went on Zytiga. The hot flashes came back And stayed with me for about another 2 1/2 years. I would wake up at night and the sheet would be totally wet under me. I started testing the Embrlabs Wave device, which helped a lot to reduce the intensity of the hot flashes. It essentially stopped my having hot flashes at night because it had a night mode That really works.
I switched to orgovyx And for five months the hot flashes stopped. They came back as hot as ever after that five month break. I was getting about 10 a day and My hair would be soaked with sweat dripping down into my eyes. About a month ago, I got another depo-provera shot. It didn’t stop the hot flashes, but it did reduce the intensity a little so that I’m only getting really sweaty two or three times a day, The rest of the hot flashes are a little milder and the wave device helps reduce them even more.
